Today the class was meeting in the Danger Room. Not that there was any reason for Anakin to be in the mood to kill most of his student horribly. Really. This was what was on the syllabus.

...fortunately.

"Welcome to your midterm," Anakin said, pacing across the flight deck of a ship. Behind him, thousands of pricks of lights showed that a space battle had been paused for him to talk. "Today, you will get to be Jedi."

His eyes twinkled at Zayne before going flat. "Or try, anyway. Your mission," he said, striding over to a three-dimensional schematic of the ship, "is to rescue the Chancellor of the Republic, who has been kidnapped by a General Grievous, the leader of a Separatist movement. There's also another fearsome warrior aboard, a Lord of the Sith named Count Dooku. He is not to be underestimated. He took my arm off when I was 20."

He shrugged it off.

"Regardless. You will be paired up and rescue the Chancellor. Alive, please. Your mission is to fight past the droids and the Sith Lord, get back on a different ship and the hell off of this one as quickly as possible."

He waved his hand towards the control panel. The students would now find themselves in brown robes and holding unlit lightsaber hilts. They would work like the real things, but only in the Danger Room.

Their reflexes, regrettably, were what they had come in with.

"Try not to die," Anakin said, "and for the love of the Force, don't do stupid things with your lightsabers like try to skewer your classmates or write your name in the floor."

He then read off the pairs:
Zayne & Temari
Leto & Chuck
Marco & Brooke
Dor & Tony
Joan & Helen
K-Mart & Peter
Hurley & Sookie
Triela & Wendy
Gabriel & Ino

"Yes," Anakin said, nodding again. "They're damnably hard to get rid of."

"The Masters on Taris tell us that the Sith the worst threat to the galaxy," Zayne said. "We've been instructed to always watch for any sign of their return so that nothing like the Great Sith War could ever happen again."

"I don't think Master Lucien is going to like hearing about this."

Anakin was very proud that restrained himself from beating his head against the nearest hard surface. "I hate timeline issues," he groaned. "Your Master is definitely not going to like this."

"And I thought I was going to have a tough time just explaining how there are Jedi here..." Zayne said. "There's probably not any information you can give me on how to stop them once and for all that I can pass along, is there?"

Anakin shook his head. "I thought they were gone from my version of the galaxy, too. And then my grandson showed up with a Sith problem. They're insidious."

"Thanks for the information," Zayne said. "I'm sure the Masters will know what to do with it for the short term, at least."

If Zayne was from Anakin when was thinking he was from...no. No they didn't. "They're masters," he said, nodding. Obi-Wan himself would be pleased by the amount of tact he'd shown.

Zayne nodded. He'd have to plan out his next conversation with Master Lucien. It was going to be weird. "Well, I hope you have a good week off, Master."

"You too, Padawan," Anakin replied, inclining his head. "Try not to get into trouble."
